Hi Christina,
I like the original, shorter, title better! It seems as if this longer title
takes some of the power away from the poem. If you think you need to mention
Lindey England (for clarification) how about putting the title as follows:
Photoshop
(after Lindey England)
then the reader can see both things separately - but can still make
connections.
Or you might think the word "after" isn't quite the right word... but can
you see what I'm suggesting? Don't let me think: this is JUST about one
person, let me keep thinking: so how do each of us distort the images we
have of each other?
